Celebrities Who Quit Twitter and Came Back

Alec Baldwin and Other Stars With Twitter Trouble

Alec Baldwin deleted his Twitter account following a series of angry tweets directed to a Daily Mail reporter yesterday. He came to pregnant wife Hilaria Thomas's defense due to a story claiming she was tweeting upbeat posts during James Gandolfini's funeral services. Alec later released a statement and said the story was manufactured, while Hilaria shared her hurt over the situation on her own active account.
